Seeking Fellow Travelers for Egypt & Jordan -- Oct.-Nov. 2010

I'll travel to Egypt and Jordan independently in October-November 2010. Is anyone else interested in doing any portion of the trip together? It would be helpful to have a couple other folks (at least one female for room-share if necessary as I am also female) with whom to do the Western Desert oases in particular. Also, I may hire a car in Jordan for about a week and drive from Aqaba to Amman, stopping at all the key sites along the way. Great overland adventure opportunity! Dates are still flexible. Please check out my detailed itinerary at www.tripchick.wordpress.com and leave me a comment here or there to request more information. Thanks very much. Hope to hear from you soon.

I'm not very picky, but it would be great if you could be:

-- A non-smoker
-- Preferably female (but that's not a dealbreaker as traveling with a man in Egypt could be a real asset since I'm female and I understand that lone women can get some unwanted attention there; but if you are male, please don't expect more than friendship)
-- Flexible & culturally open-minded
-- A reasonably experienced traveler, comfortable with independent travel, budget accommodations and desert camping/safari travel.
-- Interested in the histories/cultures of Egypt and Jordan; not just seeking a cheap holiday.
-- 28-55 years old (I'm 41 and get along with a range of age groups)
-- Honest and trustworthy -- for instance, you say you are going to show and you do. : >
